Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
There are a number of great hip-hop mix CDs--check out Amazon.com's article on 1998's best--but Laid in Full stands out even among such august company. M-Boogie has established a phenomenal roster of MCs here, from KRS-One, who contributes the opening vocal, to underground stars Mos Def and Kool Keith (whose collaboration with DJ Spooky, "Object Unknown," is a highlight) to up-and-comers like Planet Asia and Iriscience (of Dilated Peoples)--and that doesn't even mention the people behind the boards and on the turntables who show up here, too (Peanut Butter Wolf, Kut Master Kurt, the Beat Junkies' DJ Babu, and on and on). There's nobody here just phoning it in, either--this is a topnotch collection of talented people, all of whom are proud to be contributing to the album. And it shows. --Randy Silver

5.0 out of 5 stars The best hip hop compilatin I ever heard., April 17, 1999

By A Customer

This cd is on mad rotation in my car. I've listened to it over and over without ever touching the fast forward button. From KRS-One's intro to Iriscience's versin of On Deadly Ground to the incredible flow of Planet Asia, this cd is just plain dope on plastic.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's dope, but......, January 30, 2002

By A Customer

M-Boogie thinks he's DJ Premiere. For thoze that arent familar with Primo, he was the DJ in Gang Starr. Gang Starr made dope ass records. This MBoogie kid has a good ear for talent but not for scratching and beatz. Since he is Matt Terio the label owner he should stick to signing dope ass talant and not pretendin to be a wack DJ. I like the mix tape style of this CD. I don't really care for MBoogie's mixing. He's not undaground. He's mainstream. Babu is dope, KRS is dope not Matt Boogie.

Why do I diss Matt Boogie? Because he thinks he's the bomb on his productions and he is no Peanut Butter Wolf, DJ Revolution, DJ premiere or Xecutioners. Matt Boogie should stop pretendin' and stick to signin dope ass talent and not frontin' like he'z got talent.

4.0 out of 5 stars better than soundbombing!, February 17, 2001

By	moshe davidovich (tel aviv, Israel) - See all my reviews

this must be one of the best hiphop compilations made in the last few years. despite few mediocre tracks (which prevented me giving this album 5 stars) most of the tracks here are great -brilliant pieces from missing linx (which dre stole for "the next episode") , lootpack, mos def and many more. despite the fact the the "soundbombing" albums are more famous, this collection is probably better!
